President Recep Tayyip Erdogan replaced the chief executive officer of Turkey’s sovereign wealth fund, deepening a shakeup at top economic institutions that began with the resignation of the stock exchange head.
Arda Ermut was named CEO of the Turkey Wealth Fund, replacing Zafer Sonmez, according to a decree published Tuesday in the Official Gazette, confirming an earlier Bloomberg News report. Ermut in the past served as the head of the investment office of Turkey’s presidency and a board member at the wealth fund.
